It's a Indy GAME thing, not an Indy FILM thing, 'kay?

Fri, 09 May 2008 13:04:00 PST

There’s a couple of new previews out for Lego Indiana Jones, and while there’s not a lot left to find out as you can probably guess most of it, both have their own reasons to recommend them.

Eurogamer is the most recent and is probably the most fun preview I’ve seen yet. I would’ve killed to have been one of those kids, getting to play a major game early! It also addresses some issues, such as the similarities to Lego Star Wars and how guns will feature.

IGN has the shorter preview, but makes up for it by having videos from all three Lego-ised films!

New Penny Arcade Adventures wallpapers

Fri, 09 May 2008 10:23:00 PST

Go grab the Penny Arcade Adventures wallpapers from the nice folks over at GamersHell. Have you been falling asleep because your desktop is so boring? Now you have no excuse.

Sample The Indy IV Soundtrack!

Wed, 07 May 2008 14:24:00 PST

The Amazon.Com page for the Indy IV Soundtrack now has samples! Listen to the new Indy Soundtrack now!

I thought I would post this as news partly because whether the film’s good or bad the Soundtrack will be fantastic, partly because I think John Williams is great and I’m looking forward to the Soundtrack almost as much as I am the film, but mostly it’s to annoy Jason. :D

Official Wallpaper of the Official Poster!

Tue, 06 May 2008 15:50:00 PST

Now this was a surprise! I’ve been waiting ages for a Wallpaper of Drew Struzan’s Full Official Poster of Indy IV to appear on IndianaJones.com, and it still hasn’t.

So where did I find it? Why, only on the UK version of the Official Site instead!! Check the Downloads page out!

Here’s the direct link to the best version! Enjoy!

What?

Mon, 05 May 2008 13:18:00 PST

Absolutely nothing happened.

Nothing at all.

Move along.

Now then, back to our regularly scheduled programming!

UPDATE: There is absolutely no truth in the rumours you may have heard.

And in other news…

The Tingler is investigated! Secret life revealed!

Sun, 04 May 2008 15:58:00 PST

So this is what he’s up to when not writing news posts.

The Tingler investigates local toy store, no-one surprised

Sun, 04 May 2008 15:17:00 PST

Reports are coming in from, well, me, saying that the new Kingdom of the Crystal Skull LEGO sets are now available to buy in stores, even here in the UK.

Our intrepid reporter (again, me), took a couple of shots to prove his slightly blurry findings. There’s also the first ever shot of Indy together with the Crystal Skull, although obviously just in Lego.

Excited?

Telltale Games interviewed

Sun, 04 May 2008 11:57:00 PST

Several Telltale staff members have been interviewed about Sam and Max on the Wii by the folk over at CVG. I haven’t read the whole thing for fear of Season Two spoilers but you go nuts.

Indy IV trailer in less-crappy quality!

Sat, 03 May 2008 06:23:00 PST

About damn time too! You can experience the new Indiana Jones trailer in full HD quality!

1080p / 720p / 480p

If you can’t run HD, The Official Indiana Jones Site has it too. The site has also had a small revamp, which basically means that a very golden Crystal Skull is staring at you the whole time you’re there.

EDIT: There’s also something on the updated Official Site that you may or may not want to avoid – an official Story Synopsis of Indy IV. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

First Penny Arcade scores trickle-in

Fri, 02 May 2008 14:48:00 PST

As Penny Arcade’s Gabe is reporting, the first Penny Arcade reviews are cropping-up and they’re really polarised. Apparently one reviewer gave the game a 4/10 in Edge and 68% in some other magazine, but OXM gave the game a great 85%. Also, according to Gabe the game should be out later sometime this month.

Does this mean games are changing, or does it mean that this game is a love-or-hate thing? Or did Gabe and Tycho accurately predict the future? Let’s buy the game and find-out later this summer.

King Diamond on Br�tal Legend

Thu, 01 May 2008 23:22:00 PST

In what has ~~all ready~~ already given Brütal Legend that first 10/10 score from me, underground heavy metallist King Diamond of the band of the same name and Mercyful Fate has spoken about Brütal Legend:

There’s a game that’s coming out sometime in 2008 called ‘Brütal Legend.’ I’ve seen a lot of screenshots and little things from it. They have showed interest in using some King Diamond music in there, and they’ve also talked about maybe doing a voice-over.

He does not provide much more information, (well, a paragraph and a half more) but I think that’s great. I was personally worried that the game would be completely dominated by the Iron Maidens and Black Sabbaths of the world but it’s nice to see some good ol’ underground metal potentially in the game.

Update: Here’s an excerpt that has all information related to Mojo.

LEGO Last Crusade!

Thu, 01 May 2008 17:55:00 PST

Well, almost. A new trailer for Lego Indiana Jones is up at GameTrailers, and it contains our first look at the Lego-ized Last Crusade, as well as several other previously unseen areas of the game such as the Rope Bridge in Temple and the Well of Souls from Raiders.

Beware though, for if a trailer for a Lego version of three films we’ve seen thousands of times can contain spoilers, this one certainly does!

I especially liked the moment at 49 seconds!

Penny Arcade goes gold (double update)

Thu, 01 May 2008 18:19:00 PST

According to WorthPlaying.com, Penny Arcade Adventures, episode one, has gone gold, also known as EA’s favourite colour and the reason why summer will rock.

Update: It’s official!

Update 2: New trailers! Including Annarchy!

Gameplay videos for attractive people

Thu, 01 May 2008 12:11:00 PST

Apparently around the time Strong Bad was announced IGN UK decided to put up a bunch of gameplay videos that we never knew about. See the game in action!

Playtest Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

Thu, 01 May 2008 00:18:00 PST

Have you ever wanted to work on a videogame and not get paid for it? How about playing a game before everyone else in the world, and then deciding if the game makes you feel enough of teh hardcorez? Have you ever looked in the mirror, and said: “Oh, man, am I attractive. I am an attrative hardcorez“? And, most importantly: do you want to literally leave your Wii in a smoldering hot crater?

Then why don’t you go playtest Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People? You get to be a hot shirtless Mexican guy, too. And it will literally leave your Wii in a smoldering crater.
